    I confess that i was actually born in Barking hospital, but the paradise that is Dagenham was where my parents lived at the time. I worked in Hornchurch in my early days of working, and Romford. And then started the outward trajectory that you speak of. I got a lot further than you, as you can see So i win

    Tiny That school is long gone. I think it closed about 2 years after i left as a secondary modern and re-opened as a Catholic school Where's your stomping ground in Costa Del Essex, H ?

    Indeed H, they were. I also did my secondary schooling at South Ockendon

    Can you guys or gals give me some info on which model TE heads have the dual band compressor fitted ? In fact, i 'm thinking of combos more than stand alone heads, as i'm contemplating seeing if i can find a TE amp / Pre pulled from a combo. I'm also hoping that that any head ( stand alone or pulled from a combo ) will fit a standard 19" , but shallow rack case. I'm sure the 2 piece vintage combo amps would be ok in a shallow rack, as i've dismantled my own GP11 Mk V and seen that the pre and amp, although separate, dont really take up much room front to back when squeezed together

    My old man worked at the Dagenham plant pretty much all of his life, ( wasn't that the biggest factory in Europe at the time ? ) till we moved near to Purfleet, then he transferred to what was then the AVO plant at Ockendon - Advanced Vehicle Operations, where i think all the old Escort Mexicos were fettled

    Was it ? Jeeez , i need to go to Specsavers. I thought it was a TE footswitch. Still, the photo was tiny, in my defence

    Hi Smudge - as an ex Essex brat, ( moved decades ago ) whereabouts in Essex are you from ? I was fortunate to be from picturesque Dagenham

    You're only 0.8 mm away from your ideal string height, according to your 1st post. I suppose you could sand down the neck at the area that fits in the neck pocket

    Fascinating Beck was on my radar in the Truth and Beck-Ola days but that didnt hit the spot for me. Then Blow By Blow came out. Game changer. Bought it and still have it.

    So the bulk of the weight is down to the solid maple body ?

    NOLL TCM 3PM ( B2022 - 5 knob ) 3 band parametric EQ with Vol Push Pull passive / active, Mid boost + Mid freq sweep, Bass and Treb both boost / cut All knobs included - all fine and working dandy. Close up of how pickup hot and grounds solder to the pot Also, original NOLL wiring diag, and NOLL box. Bought new from outside UK ( couldnt find one in UK at the time ) at a cost of about £175 all in. Knobs dont come with the pre. so had to be bought separately , and delivery cost totalled it to £175 £5 postage Pre works fabulously with Bartolini soapbars i'm selling , and buying both would get anyone a reduction of the combined price
